if the 6.2 and 6.5 are such bad motors y does the military use them... so far all i have done on the 6.2 is change an injection pump, troubleshoot glowplugs, replaced a head,replaced a waterpump, and pulled the motor, these r all the common things that go wrong and i only did it for training purposes

Why does the Military use these out dated engines. Money that is why, being in the military if you have not figured out the DOD goes to the lowest bidder for stuff then you need to look at what your working on.
Also it does not stop with the 6.2L,6.5L I also replaced the Cummins 292 inline 6 diesel that is in the 5ton trucks. As well as the 92V detriot Diesel that is in the LVS ( Logistic Vehicle System) that the Marine Corps has.
I also was fuel/electric certified when I was in as well. I use to work on the injectors, alternators, starters, fuel injection pumps, and other components as well.

im buying a 6.2 powered suburban this weekend, 3/4 ton automatic 2wd, i am going to contract it to a friend of mines dad to haul trailers. nothing heavy, just decent work. id rather have one of the mechanical injected trucks, no matter what the brand, before i took a electronic truck. why, they are cheap, easy to work on, and fun to have. i am gonna call around and see if i can find a set of bigger injectors for it, along with my 7.3.....

my 6.2 suburban drove to northern north carolina and hauled my dodge back to florida without a single problem, running 65-70 mph.....just hard to stop when she blew a rear wheel cylinder.....i paid 500$ cash for the thing a little over a month ago and its already paid for itself twice over and when the motor goes its getting a 6V53 turbocharged Detroit with a 5 speed allison i got from a guy for free....
